Mod. Martin Cheek and Lip Retractor

Description

Mod. Martin Cheek and Lip Retractor

The modified Martin cheek retractor is a longer version of a familiar cheek and lip pattern. Oral surgeons and ENT teams use it to hold soft tissue back deep in the mouth.

Reach for back teeth

First, longer retractors reach the rear of the mouth with ease. Therefore the assistant can hold the cheek clear of molars and the jaw angle. That improves the view for extractions and bone work.

Two lengths

We list this pattern at 18 cm and 20 cm. Also, both lengths give more reach than a short front retractor. So pick the one that suits your hand and the depth you need.

In the surgical tray

Many trays hold a short and a long cheek retractor together. For example, the short one handles the front of the mouth. Meanwhile, this longer pattern covers the back.

Short or long

If most of your cases involve molars, a long retractor helps most. In contrast, front tooth work suits a 10 cm tool. Contact us if you want advice on a balanced set.

Caring for your modified Martin cheek retractor

First, rinse it quickly after the case. Then scrub the blade and grip. Let it dry, and sterilize it following your protocol.
